This question was posted before and I seem to recall lot of people used a general rule of 6 years - which I don't necessarily agree with if your tires have been stored properly.(sunlight, UV and heat is a killer)
I was at discount tire this AM for tires on my Saab and aksed the tire age question - they won't mount tires if they are over 10 yrs old, that seems sensible to me - except I have a set of Yoko Guardex which are 13 yrs old and have a lot (50%)of tread left - I want them mounted and used this winter , so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
Anyone old as me remember that commercial from the 60s I believe of the big strong native american mounting a tire by hand ? I need that type of guy .
